From the Saddle

He's a big name in campdrafting and rodeo, but how does Sam Knight reckon he ranks on the dance floor? Sam gets the Five Mad Minutes treatment from hosts Scott Keogh and Caitlyn Hewitt.

Ron Connley is a true Australian bushman. Born and raised in the shadow of Mount Hotham in Victoria's High Country, the 84-year-old spent his youth travelling the countryside winning bull-dogging championships and campdrafting titles. But his proudest moment? Taking out the Man from Snowy River title - twice - in his 60s.

He's never strayed from his mountain home for too long, and is still based on his childhood sheep station. But don't let that fool you. Ron has an extraordinarily adventurous spirit and has never let his age dictate what challenges he takes on. Hear host Kay Becker draw some big tales from this even bigger character. Like how he ended his schooling career age 13 with his right hook and the hilarious way he snagged his wife of 57 years.

As the son of a NQ shopkeeper, Noel Daley was never gifted a cent. After a taste of working on the property his brother managed near Cloncurry in North-West Queensland, he headed bush to make his fortune.

Noel spent years on stations in the North-West working his way up from ringer to Manager. Holidays were non-existent and on rare days off, he dabbled in the burgeoning campdrafting scene. He managed to snag himself a wife and start a family before scraping together the deposit to buy his very own place.

Hear Noel's incredible journey from ringer to owning a million-acre property on the Queensland Northern Territory border.

You've heard Dan Steers' journey to become one of Australia's most celebrated equine entertainers, but do you know how he rates himself on the romance scales or his most useless talent? It's doesn't get much more ridiculous than in these five mad minutes with host Caitlyn Hewitt.

You might know him as one half of Double-Dan - a showman skilled at entertaining audiences of horse-lovers and ordinary folk alike- he's also an author, a farrier and a renowned horse trainer and breaker.

So how did Dan Steers, a kid from the suburbs of Perth who only discovered horse-riding through the local PCYC, land on the international stage? Here's a hint: plenty of hustle and hard work, more than a few gambles and a pinch of good luck.

Brett Parbery is an Australian dressage rider and trainer. He competed at the World Equestrian Games in Lexington 2010 where he became 9th individually, which is the highest rank for an Australian dressage rider during the World Championships.

Kristy Banks was a champion jockey, winning more than a hundred races from 800 starts. But her career came to a shattering halt New Years Eve 2011 when she was thrown from her horse at a race meeting in Toowoomba. Her injuries were catastrophic - a broken back, four broken ribs and a punctured lung - and they left her paralysed from the waist down. But that's not the end of Kristy's story - far from it.

Hear Kristy's incredible journey from a hospital bed to winning open barrel races - and why getting back in the saddle was about more than just learning to ride again.
